How to Start Making Change in Your Life?! PART 2 #IYP ‘Longevity’

How to start making a Change..it’s time, it’s 2019 it’s the days of how to change! We only live once, and not for a long time

What is up beautiful, beautiful people?!! So I want to continue to talk about my journey and path to betterment, understanding, knowledge and self awareness in the hopes you can gain your first baby step as well!

So I left off with me laying on the bathroom floor…continuing to ask others (whom by the way had no phukcing clue about health or nutrition) for help and it was just a cycle a continuation of me being on this hampster wheel that I could not get off. As a side note here I would like to insert the present day looking back HUMMMM moments – I never wanted to take matters into my own hands at that point I wanted someone else to tell me what to do, basically laziness, lack of knowledge, and not wanting to put in the time because in the end that is what it is- effort and time, because NO ONE KNOWS YOUR BODY LIKE YOU DO- NO ONE!!…I think this resonates with our society in general. Also the ADVISE I was taking was from those who had no phucking business giving advice but again because I was asking they were giving. I equate it to this if you were going to get lesson’s on how to be a parent you would think the teacher had kids, if they didn’t it would be kinda weird…if you were going to get healthy from someone who was 200 pounds overwieght…do you get what I’m getting at?)

It came to the point where the BS of “this is just how it goes” and the slue of lame ass band aid’s just did not help. I was drinking coffee because I was told it was an afternoon ‘pick me up’… and ps it was like ‘do you want some coffee with your sugar and flavoured creamers’… because I did not like coffee not realaizing the sugar boost only last for a while then you crash even harder, it was causing inflimation (swelling up my joints), producing cortisol(so I could not sleep) I was not ever drinking water…like I said I was on the HAMSTER WHEEL.

As I type… I reflect; I think at some point without knowledge we give our power away to those who we think have that knowledge we are seeking to obtain or we just lose our inner power/strength because we just assume we don’t have any…. a very, very sad state to be in and I was there for years and I think at some point we have either all been there or may be there! KNOW THIS THERE IS HOPE

After the bathroom episode I was moving a ladder for a job and my back went out, I recovered then it went out again, then my neck tightened up and I was barely able to move it, I noticed my rock hard stomach was getting a little softer, there were other stomach issues as well after I would eat, my energy was low in the afternoon, my sleep paterns were way out of wack…so after about almost 2 years of these things happening over and over again I thought this just can not be right…can it

Again I think I knew subconsciously something was changing in my body and not for the better as I described. Understsand again please these did not happen all at once, but I was aware of them. They just kept adding up little by littel but they also just sneak up on you in such a way that if you just somewhat ignore them as a whole you could miss it…I’m sure until a time or age when it’s un ignorable.

For me this was the 3rd time my back went out in like a matter of 3 maybe 4 months. I had — had enough it would take me 3–4 days to recover each time and honestly it was just pissing me the phuck off more than anything. So I finally decide to book a chiropractic appointment…my first.. my first step on my own journey.

Now the story of BABY STEP’S FORWARD starts: please join me again for the start of my amazing journey to betterment and empowerment…you rock and thank you for your time~

It’s the Baby Step’s that turn to Change! #IYP ‘Longevity’

It is the Baby, it is the first step, the small the little, the baby step’s that make change!

I appreciate you, the read, your time…I love sharing what I have learned and hope it can in some way bring value and maybe some change or knowledge into your awareness!

So to give a quick review at the age of about 23 after about 7 years of being on my own and having zero education or knowledge of health and nutrition I came to the point where I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired! Which finally lead me to a place where I was ready to receive, I was open to new ideas, I was ready…actually I was HUNGRY for knowledge and to be honestly looking back I was always hungry for that accient knowledge. Maybe it also was the fact I am smaller, lighter, then all the people I hung around maybe I wanted to prove something…but if you believe like I do in a higher power or energy then like I do you would know that there was a bigger picture for this urning and it was about the long game! Longevity -to be and feel better today then I did yesterday and to feel better tomorrow than I did today! Such a simple hope…yet when you are at rock bottom…like I mean looking back I had NO PHUCKING CLUE WHAT FEELING GOOD WAS!! To wake up tired to have stomach issues to feel sluggish to have like a brain fog all day like a daze or something…I thought all this was just normal. This was just how it was for me, so I never knew there was a different side and maybe you are in the same boat, and not until I started running into older men and women who looked phucking awesome and just beamed and reeked of positivity and happiness…that caught my attention and I wanted to know their secrets!

So what can I do I thought; I work, I am recording, I am doing shows…I love to go out after the shows, I love to go to the clubs…how am I going to find the time to figure out what they are doing or even figure out my own shit when I have no time (I am pretty sure this is a story we all tell ourselves) — I guess my excuse was whatever I told myself at each moment…because they were always different. Always! The 2 things I heard along the way that actually sunk into my subconscious was “Are you worth it” and Priorities..what are yours?” those did not hit me right away but they did stick with me, because I kept finding reasons why I could not do something… it was not until I phucking admitted to myslef I had no REAL excuse I was just being phucking Lazy!

It was time to do something for myself from myself…you know, I had to want it and I had initiate it…and this is where I get to the baby steps… Step one is just a decision in the mind- yup that phucking simple. Let me expand on that not the ok I will wake up early today…then never ever do it again. I mean the type of decision that you make it and you stick with it — not BULL SHITING YOURSELF I mean the real…we are human and you may fall off but as long as you get back on- that is all we can ask of ourself! So I did and I can to this day remember what my first 2 baby steps were; #1. I told myself I would be more active so 3 times per week I ran around my block…no joke like that was one of the first things…took maybe 3 minutes…but it was a commitment to myself that I was able to fulfill — simple and easy and attainable. I did not promise myslef to run 10 kilometres daily, that would have been impossible and I would fail and then quit…so my lesson here is attainable small goals that you can build off of. #2. I said I needed to find out about movement, work outs, yoga, healthy eating habbits…I mean I did not really care as long as I read and learned something or shadowed someone to learn and then either took it into practice or just learned something, that to me was then ‘doing’ in a positive way for my future. I ended up doing both, reading and shadowing, but again maybe 1 time a month I would do something like that — where as now it’s daily.

I also remember in the first month doing 2 other super simple things that had huge effects- 1. Drinking more water (which at that point was still not enough but I was not even drinking it prior so again anything was an improvement)and 2. I stopped drinking stupid amounts of coffee…well it was not really coffee like I said before, but I just again started slow…used less sugar and flavoured creamers, then cut out 1 or 2 extra cups a day…then it was 1 a day…then 1 a week (while starting to implement a hot tea drink once in a while)….now I have not had a coffee in like 8–10 years!! Those small changes no word of lie because they were so small and so easy to do it, was not easy by any means but it was doable because I knew my end goal LONGEVITY. With that focus and vision just like any goal even though I would fall off which is part of being human- do not be hard on yourself, I was able to make these baby steps and in the first few months the change was so so noticeable from such small changes that it for me- soooooo fired me up to keep going, learning, and improving.

From there it began to become a habit and then that habit became a RITUAL the stepping block for betterment and setting the bar higher and higher as the days would pass! An addiction for progress…to be better then I was yesterday~

Divorce, Break ups, Loss…Why is this our turning Point to be Better #IYP ‘Longevity’

Raging fire burning

What is up beautiful People? Today we talk Divorce and why we get better for self after it!

Let us all be Better Now ~ You know what time it is…it’s time to get inspired, time to get some abstract thoughts…the one’s that may make you go HUMMM?!! So as always I only speak from my personal experience, my personal journey and all the lesson’s I have been fortunate to learn and blessed to be taught…and even been able to study under some frigging amazing teachers that come from far away lands with that ancient knowledge…blessed!

What I want to rant on today is about a subject that boggles my mind yet at the same time we have all fallen under it’s spell before…its the comfort zone of a poor relationship and then once that relationship end’s its like we morph into another being trying to attact it’s next comfort mate to take away our fear of loneliness, possible unhappiness, boredom, laziness…whatever the issue or issues are in our life at that moment.

Call it looking back, hindsight, seeing it from a different perspective looking from the outside looking in…blah blah blah- I can say this it’s one of 3 things for me; fear, not knowing yourself, and not knowing what it is you want from a partner or out of life in general. Speaking for myself (as I always and forever will hold my feet to fire first and foremost) I spent more time researching a car or a studio microphone, computer, kitchen appliance, over the female I wanted in my life, the friends I wanted to be around, my home environment. I mean I basically looked for all the outside factor’s to make me happy but never once paid attention to what my inside’s, my soul, my heart, my higher self, whatever you want to call it…I never asked what is it that I want? What was I craving, what was I looking for, what was I attracting?

Deep hey…so I was forced to learn the lesson over and over and over again until the universe said yes you have passed this test — on to the next lesson ou need to learn in life. This has become very forefront in my life as of late not for myself but for those around me going through it. I am only speaking of my insight’s not judgement’s, a common thread that all these people including myself share from; we get to a certain point or a certain age and realize this just in not working (currently this is for people whom have been together 8–12 years so not teens anymore type deal)

The sad thing is that we let ourself go…phuck me- we give up on ourself say that one out loud with me so it sink’s in…We Give Up On Ourslef…and this cut’s me like a knife (shoutout to Brian Adam’s)it hurt’s because how or why would we let our health, happiness, confidence go, why would we let our bright light be dimmed by the conformity, comfort, ease, routine, Phuck I mean it we become, I became comfortable, I became civilized…I truly became a little BITCH that took it daily just to say I had someone, we all do this is our own way. We gain massive amouts of weight, we age, we get grumpy as phuck we become those old cranky phucks no one wants to be around!!And for what reason? It’s simple because we don’t know ourself…we don’t have a phukcing clue who we are or what it is we want so we SETTLE 🙁

The thing I see happening currently with all my peeps going through this is this as well, we get out of one relationship and we try to get back on track; to lose weight, eat better, look better, feel better, have more energy, work out, be happier…all to what…wait for it… to phukcing attract someone else!!! WOW. It’s not like we honestly do this for us, I mean I truly wish that was the case, but I bet 90% of the time it’s not because we are so unconfident so lonely so whatever…all that hide’s though is the underlying FEAR that none of us, not one single one of us wants to be alone- because we are scared to be alone and in the end DIE alone! BOOM let’s put that in our pipe and smoke it.

Again I hold myself to the fire, been there done that and got the medal to prove it …I thank you for your time and I appreciate your time -to stay up on the Blog, Vlog, Podcast and the Music hit up www.mossamo.com

Who is Doing Your Cooking? #IYP Longevity

What is up beautiful people…I missed you, I thank you, and as always I appreciate you and your time I know you could be doing anything else in the world, but you chose to be here with me!~!

So I want to through down on this idea, this anomaly, this abnormality, this human trait we are all guilty of…maybe it came from the way we grew up the way the family dichotomy has been laid out for us, maybe it is even laziness…but we are all or have all been guilty of it at some point- this is fact!

So who the phuck is doing the cooking… and what the phuck are you putting into your system. This came up for me after an older gentlemen who was visiting my parents and had dinner with them…he said to me “Damn little man if I lived with your mom I would be 400 pounds- she cooks soooo good” This is truth she damn well does, and you know what she cooks from the old country, the old fashion way, fresh product where ever possible, blah blah blah…and you know what else she puts about 10 portions worth on your plate, then expects you to go up for more when you are finished. She is an amazing cook and an amazing women.

So lets analyze this ok if we as kids are unable to cook for ourself, are uneducated in what to eat and are to young to know any better- then who is it up to, to make sure we are eating properly, wisely, healthy and all the other bullshit? Understand this is at the children level correct, up to a certain age we just eat what is put on the plate or into our mouth as any child does. Ok so again let’s just take a second to ponder all the ways this could or could not go wrong…if your parents are healthy freaks then this could be beneficial for you, and on the flip side if your parents are giving you a a hot dog and ice cream for dinner it may not be…

Let’s fast forward to our years of age when we start living on our own or making our own food decisions and or making our own meals. If we learn from those who did the cooking for us then again we could be in a good or a bad spot correct. As well if we do not educate ourself in what type of eating we want to be investing in or what type of lifestyle we want to live and the type of life we want (again as always the under lying theme is self awareness) then whom ever we end up partnering with either a roomate or roomates, or when it comes time to living with the person you spend the rest of your life with then we are going to be unaware of what 5–10–15–20 years of that style of eating will do to us. Again going back to the example of one person in the relationship doing the cooking, if that person is truly doing what they think is best and cooking meals they THINK are healthy and we as the other person on the receiving end -we just shovel whatever the phuck is put in front of us like a trained robot HAND 2 MOUTH…repeat until plate is finished…ummm that was good..I want more…repeat again. Can you then see how this can effect our health and well being. We need to at some point take on some responsibility for our own well being. Again 15 years from now it would be easy to pack on the pounds and do damage to your inner system, loose energy, loose the mind clarity, and vigour of life or you could do the opposite… create longevity, and vitality, a strong mind, and body and be able to do things well into your later years!

We need to at some point have the discussion along side with the self awareness for ourself, our relationship and our health to go down a path of finding solutions as a team or solo for our own betterment and longevity. Myself personally I want to be around as long as I can to enjoy this amazing planet and all it’s beauty with the ones I love for as long we all can…and I don’t mean on oxygen, taking pills, refined to a bed- I mean phucking living baby…LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED~

So take a mental moment to just be aware what it is you are shoving down your throat and who is the one making that food and what’s the WHY behind it?
